turning on radio takes too long before favourite wireless connection is established

[Quozl]

• associate with a wireless access point (which marks it as a favourite), and verify another XO is present in Neighbourhood view,
• make the frame visible,
• in My Settings, Power, turn off Automatic power management, (for the purposes of this test),
• in My Settings, Network, turn off Radio,
• wait five seconds,
• turn on Radio, and begin timing,
• switch back to the Neighbourhood view,
• wait until networking has been restored, the frame shows associated state, and the other XO has reappeared, then stop timing.

Turning on radio takes 30-35 seconds. This is too long. It can be done manually in four seconds if NetworkManager is disabled:

rfkill unblock wifi && \
sleep 2 && \
iwconfig eth0 essid xo && \
sleep 2 && \
dhclient eth0

this might be a dup of #9854. if not a dup, it's surely related.

[Quozl]

yes, it may be, and thus might be an easier reproducer to work from since it avoids suspend or powerd.
